If you are thinking of working for or using a landscaping company, I suggest you reconsider. I recently applied to Forest Ridge Landscaping due to the $20/hour wage and $40/day standby bonus posted on Indeed. However, during the hiring process, I found out that if I missed any time for any reason, including doctor's appointments, I would forfeit the standby pay. When asking if this was true twice over an eight hour period with no response from anyone in the company, it made me decide not to move forward with their hiring process.
The next Monday two people called me; one from HR and one from a pit crew boss. When they finally answered my question about medical appointments affecting my standby pay (albeit late), it was too vague and too late so I declined again. On Tuesday at 2 PM someone called again asking if I wanted work - when expressing disinterest in their company due to lack of communication this person swore at me before hanging up. To make sure my name was removed from candidacy lists for employment, as well as make a complaint about being harassed on the phone, called Forest Ridge Landscaping's number and spoke with Gerry Visco - CEO of said business (pictured below).

I'm not trying to get anyone else to harass Gerry or his family or give Forest Ridge Landscaping trouble but merely just voicing what happened during my experience today; poor communication and unprofessional behavior by its CEO. If Gerry attempts having this review removedmore ...hide ...
